In the beginning, there was nothing but a vast, deep, blue void of nothingness. Then, out of the nothing, something appeared out of nowhere- the first being to ever be. That first being to be, something that never was, but always is and will be, became known as Cloud. Cloud, being the first sentient being in the void of blue, began to familiarize himself with his surroundings. He began to name the things that he saw. The first thing to be name was the void itself- which he named the sky, and it was he that named himself Cloud. He realized there was nothing else to name, so he started to do what all sentient things do- he began to think.
At first, Cloud was able to control his mind, his thoughts moved swiftly but fluidly through his head, until one thing happened. His thought soon began to run together and become a jumbled and strewn about. He had to get some of the thought out of his head. His thought, being run together, came into existence so. He looked at the jumbled mess of parts and decided to create four single beings out of the chaos. He gave the four beings names- Soaring Eagle, Rainbow Fish, Feathered Serpent, and Butterfly.
Cloud looked upon his creations, which looked back at their creator. Cloud pleaded his creations to help rid his mind of the things he had pondered about for centuries. Having been created from the mind of Cloud himself, the four only had to close their eyes to see into Cloud's thoughts. The four picked a thought, or two to the more competent, and brought it into being. Soaring Eagle brought to existence Etpa and Ockra, two stones, and treated them as children. Rainbow Fish brought forth water droplet, and also cherished it. Feathered Serpent brought unto us the Twins, Sun and Moon, and also loved them. Butterfly brought to the world flower, a beautiful specimen which he cared for greatly.
Cloud, being the creator of the new creators, asked the now eleven what they should do with the large void that is sky. All eleven wanted chaos to become order, and form finally brought to the void. With the permission of Cloud, Etpa and Ockra, being the sturdiest of the eleven, flew down to the center of the void, and became land. Cloud declared that the land was too small, so Etpa and Ockra grew and multiplied, and became larger. The Twins, being competitive (like all brothers), decided to race to the new land. They did so, however, without the permission of Cloud. Infuriated, Cloud demanded the Twins to forever circle and race around the earth. They became the Sun and Moon, and the stars being how many times they've gone around the land. Little flower, the precious beauty, asked Cloud to become the first to populate the new land. Cloud, not being able to deny, said yes. However, when Little Flower got to the new land, she instantly collapsed and began to wilt. She cried out for her lost beauty through wilting. Water Droplet, the only one of the new six left, answered the cry with thousand of tiny replicas of himself. Little Flower instantly regained her lost beauty, and started to multiply into smaller replicas of the first. All of the excess Water Droplets filled the cracks and crevices that were between Etpa and Ockra, and became rivers, streams, lakes, and oceans.
Now chaos was turned to order, and form given to life. Now it was time for the first five to choose their place in the new world. Rainbow Fish, being the parent of Water Droplet, decided to live in the water formed by his son. Feathered Serpent decided to live on the never ending embrace of Etpa and Ockra, and watch the Twins battle it out in their never ending race. Butterfly decided to live upon the first Little Flower, and the the process of flowers being fruitful and multiplying, by carrying the pollen- which was the pure essence of Little Flower's divine beauty and life. Soaring Eagle, being the creator of Etpa and Ockra, decided to take to the skies, and watch his offspring from above. Cloud decided to cover all of the new land in the center of the void, and oversee all of his creations.
This continued for many years, as the creations' characteristics mingled. Some of Rainbow Fish's scales would be washed away by water, to only fall as rain, and shine in the light of the sun as a rainbow. It wasn't long after the first few millennium when the six that make up the world wanted to surprise Cloud and the other first four with a new creation. The six decided to make a being all by themselves, but the twins and the stones teamed up to create a being. They'd all put them upon the land, and keep the best.
Etpa and Ockra decided to make a being out of moist clay, but they weren't able to move. Water Droplet made a being out of water, but it wasn't strong enough to do anything. The Twins made a crude and brutish figure out of pure light, but it was too stupid and ugly to be followed. Little Flower made a beautiful and intelligent figure out of vines, but it wasn't bright enough to be seen clearly.With these abominations walking the land, they all decided to trash the ideas, and was them all away with a flood summoned by Water Droplet and Cloud. The stragglers that survived the epic flood stayed on land to become the first monkeys.
They all decided to start again, but team up some of the ideas, because they couldn't just completely trash their ideas. Etpa, Ockra, and Water Droplet combined ideas to make a figure called man- strong enough to withstand the work and pressure, and fluid enough to move about and adapt. The Twins and Little Flower combined ideas to make a figure bright enough to be seen, and intelligent enough and beautiful enough to be listened to. They couldn't think of a name for the new creation. So, to fix the problem, they put a prefix to the word man- and made woman. Cloud, excessively pleased with the new creations, decided to distribute the new beings across the land, and allow them to produce fruitful offspring. This process is now continuing today. Even though man will never be as strong as the Stones, or as fluid as Water, and woman will never be as light as the Twins or as beautiful as Little Flower, they still await the day for another creation to emerge from the minds of the creators. They might even be doing so now.
